Can I overcome these things I'm feeling, a coldness deep inside? The violence, the loss of friends, it's got me desensitized? Why in the world does the world keep trying me? (I'll try), don't wanna hear all the hurt, I don't wanna see (Why can't you see?) Sometimes I feel numb, I can't feel no pain Can I overcome, things I can't explain And I still want to try to trust again But I just can't believe The things I read, I just wanna close my eyes The TV news gets me confused, so now I'm paralysed Why in the world does the world keep trying me? (I'll try), don't wanna hear all the hurt, I don't wanna see (Why can't you see?) Sometimes I feel numb, I can't feel no pain Can I overcome, things I can't explain? Sometimes I feel numb, I can't feel no pain Can I overcome, things I can't explain? And I can't close my eyes, pretending not to see what I've become Can I overcome? Can I overcome? Can I overcome?
